  • Ember

    Monthly electricity generation by source and country (Ember)

    Monthly electricity generation, generation mix shares, CO2 emissions and emissions intensity by electricity source for around 230 countries and economies plus regional aggregates, from Ember's harmonized monthly electricity dataset (https://files.ember-energy.org/public-downloads/generation/outputs/release_generation_monthly_global.csv). Each row is one (month, area, electricity source): generation in TWh with year-on-year changes, share of that area's generation in percent, CO2 emissions in MtCO2e with year-on-year changes, share of emissions, and emissions intensity in gCO2e/kWh, alongside area metadata (ISO alpha-3 code, continent, Ember region, EU/OECD/G20/G7/ASEAN membership). Method: Ember harmonizes national statistics; sources flagged is_aggregated_source=True (Clean, Fossil, Renewables, Total generation, Wind and solar, 'Hydro, bioenergy and other renewables') are composites of the granular sources, and 'Demand'/'Net imports' are balance rows. Units: TWh for generation, MtCO2e for emissions, gCO2e/kWh for intensity, percent / percentage points for shares and changes. Caveats: YoY-change columns are empty for each series' first 12 months; regional aggregates have no iso3 code; the latest 1-2 months are provisional and routinely revised. Coverage: worldwide, 1998-12 to the present, monthly granularity. Provenance: Ember keyless public CSV, CC BY 4.0 - please cite Ember (ember-energy.org). Primary key: (month, area, electricity_source). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), month. Cadence: refreshed monthly; new months typically appear ~6 weeks after month-end. Sample use: filter area='Germany' and is_aggregated_source=False to track its generation mix over time.

  • Global Energy Transition Signals (derived)

    Global energy transition signals (clean-electricity momentum, decarbonization rates, anomalies)

    Value-added energy-transition signals derived from the free Our World in Data energy dataset (Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy, CC-BY-4.0): annual low-carbon and fossil-fuel electricity shares plus electricity carbon intensity for every country with an ISO code, 2000 -> latest year. Each row carries 5-year transition momentum, the annualized decarbonization rate, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing-10y baseline, and a per-year cross-country transition rank. All computation is local pandas/numpy; no paid models or APIs.

  • Eurostat

    Share of energy from renewable sources by country (annual)

    Annual share of energy from renewable sources (percent), overall and by sector, for EU member states, EFTA countries and EU candidate countries. Eurostat dataset nrg_ind_ren ('Share of energy from renewable sources'), filtered to percentage unit. Each row is one (year, country, component): the overall share (REN), transport (REN_TRA), electricity (REN_ELC), heating and cooling (REN_HEAT_CL) and the two waste-heat-and-cold variants. Method: Eurostat compiles national energy balances; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries are dropped (same licensing rule as the other Eurostat datasets). Units: percent. Caveats: recent years are provisional and revised. Coverage: 2004 to the present, yearly. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code, component). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter component='REN_ELC' and country_code='DEU' to track Germany's renewable electricity share.
